Thank you @binitakane.bsky.social for taking #Unheard to Parliament 🙏🏽

Thank you for your amazing work - I hope you and other advocates for ME and Long Covid are listened to by the government.

Binita Kane @binitakane.bsky.social · May 14

I talked about the history of ME, how and why we have got here, I mentioned @rageshriwrites book ‘Unheard’ and how patients with ME have been dismissed for decades.

As my research residency at Fondation Brocher comes to an end, I am very thankful for weeks filled with sunshine, lake views, long walks, and great conversations. I worked on marginalisation and public health in a rhythm of thinking, writing, shared meals, and pétanque after lunch.

A group of Neonazis in 🇦🇹 created fake social media accounts to lure homosexual men to "dates" where they then attacked, robbed, and seriously injured them—one case possibly handled as attempted murder. They humiliated survivors, filmed it, and uploaded it to private chat groups. 15 arrests so far.

Österreichische Neonazis lockten Schwule für brutale Übergriffe in Falle

Bei Razzien in sieben Bundesländern gab es 15 Festnahmen. Die homosexuellen Opfer sollen zum Teil mit Mord bedroht worden sein. Es dürfte sich um harten Neonazismus handeln
